2021 is all but over (i.e. barring crazy results and a mathematical anomaly). All the pressure is off and we can play with freedom. Surely we HAVE to be using these matches as early trials. We have nothing to lose now. As such, I was really hoping to see more of the youngsters being trialled...

A strong finish (3 wins) and a few results go our way we could finish as high as 7th. A strong finish (3 wins) and results go as predicted we could finish 8th ….or 9th. A weaker finish (2 wins or 1 win) we finish 9th-13th. A disastrous finish (0 wins) with results going against us we could...

Not sure who to appeal to here...(mods, kul, other administrators?) It is pretty clear that the downvotes are really frustrating people on here. They are mostly unwarranted and may only serve to dishearten and discourage posting. I'm not sure of the solution, but perhaps as as a suggestion...

1. Daine Laurie - I think he is a bit over-rated on here but been very safe, good back-up player and speedy. 2. David Nofoaluma - excellent so far in attack. Every team would take him. Brings ball out so well. Defensively he still makes bad calls. 3. Adam Doueihi - surprisingly really good...

I do believe that in the last decade Tigers fortunes would be totally different had two things happened: (1) Had we kept Teddy. This is pretty obvious. The day we lost him we all knew we were never gonna live that down. I don't know what we could have done to keep him, but WT management let us...

I’ve got a rugby league game-play issue: Being that the sixth tackle is a kick play (either a Hail Mary bomb or cross-field kick or a kick for territory) I don’t understand why teams don’t understand that the 5th is the last opportunity to throw the ball around as it is effectively the last...

 Can someone please call to get info about starting a class action re the claim that as Tigers fans we have endured pain and suffering for an unreasonable amount of time? 😅

No. I won’t attribute the loss to the whole team. It wasn’t a losing team effort. It was because of two players that we lost. It wasn’t the forward pack. They weren’t great but they were good. It wasn’t the backs. They were solid. Not super quick or creative but solid. It wasn’t our...

When will the NRL: 1) play in empty stadiums 2) suspend the season ??

Douehi played the trial but Benji kicked. Yikes! Who is our kicker for 2020?

Can we get a banner like this for our game this weekend? Anyone here in the banner-making game? I'll chip in! 

This guy is kinda useless generally but pops up and scores at the most important moments. Don’t know what to make of him.

Putting my hand up here: I’m a critic of Brooks but he was very solid tonight. Credit where it’s due. Marsters kicking was a crucial factor in tonight’s game. Well bloody done. Big kudos Madge for keeping faith after such a horrible loss. Up the Tigers!!!

We need some humour at this turbulent time. So, 10 points goes to the best self-effacing Tigers/Ivan joke. I'll kick off with my joke from the Ivan threads (which didn't even get an audible groan): \ \ What's the difference between Ottoman (Simpsons) and Ivan? Otto can drive a bus.

_So…... moving away from the current doom and gloom..._ I'd love to know other fans thoughts on whether or not you insist on making your kids Tigers fans (i.e. over other teams). Personally, I accept that at some point my kids may struggle with religion, sexuality, political agenda...

Often on this forum (and in discussions with other footy fans) people discard the value of a winger and refuse to justify high price-tags placed on the speedsters. I just don't get it. Years ago, wingers used to camp out on the sidelines (like they still do in Rugby) but these days League...

**Is anyone else here completely stupefied that we haven't made a really serious play at Cronk?** The most influential position in Rugby League is the halfback and we have arguably had the competition's weakest for 4 years and likely at least a few more. Meanwhile, the best halfback (bar JT) is...

One thing really bothers me about the predictability of rugby league: after the 5th tackle comes the inevitable kick (running on the 6th is far less common). That's ok because a territory play or a hail mary should be exploited with the last throw of the dice… but why isn't the 5th (not 6th)...

With Benji talk floating around so many of the topics here, it's time for the inevitable poll!

In order to make finals footy and make the top 8 you generally need around 30 pts. We are currently on 8 pts. We have 12 more games + a bye (potential 26 pts). So, if we won all of our remaining games we would be on 34 points. Probably good for 6th place. If we won 10 out of 12 we would scrape...
